1. Fork this repository docker-challenge-postgres
2. Clone the forked repository onto your local machines

11. Build docker image for current repo docker-challenge-postgres
12. Run Docker image for docker-challenge-postgres part of the docker-compose docker-compose up

Conclusion

Create a PR to point to current repo with you changes and docker files. Dockerfile, Docker-compose etc.

• In the PR upload a screenshot of your docker desktop where containers are running.
• In the PR upload a screenshot of your response when retrieving a list of books. From the container.
